Both banded - I got mine cause of her, and she's going through "more" self esteem issues lately (can always be taken off line .... She's lost about 60+ pounds so far, and is having some minor band issues right now

Ok, this is my first of any kind of journal, so if your reading this, feel free to comment, point out spelling mistakes, or reduce my grade for grammar! I refuse to grow up, still trying to have fun as life goes on!! I'm 41, was banded 7-28-04 at a weight of 268. Now down to 220. "My" goal is 200. My Dr. wants to see me at 175 .... I think that would be pushing it, but if I happen to get past 200 I"LL TAKE IT!! Been kind of bumming the last year. My personal life sucks (not trying to bring anyone down, just jawing) and if it weren't for my new job (go Geek Squad) don't know what I'd do! Anyway, haven't anything to really say today, but can't start the journey without opening the door and taking the first step .... no, I would not consider myself religious (might be an interesting topic for another day, though) ... L8R

Sex?? I remember that (I think) ..... Sex not only stops with marriage, but with weight loss as well, doesn't it??? oh well, I'll just have to keep losing weight, and take my chances!! LMAO .....

Best of luck with your surgery, the road to recovery, and the wonderful road to "a lesser you"! It'll all be worth it in the end, and your road will be a longer one for it!

I've lost 27 pounds since surgery, and my wife's lost about 40. We're going through some rough times right now, but the weight loss is one of the better things!!!!!!!

New to the boards, but banded since 7-28-04. Anything I can do to help, you are welcome to say hi in whatever format (open to all).

Greetings Daisy! Best of luck! There's lot's of support in places you'd never think of looking, always a sholulder around to cry on, or a hand ready to pat you on the back! I'm new to the boards, but been banded for some time now.
